try to defend everything that is thrown at you during the debate, then automatically you are playing defense and wasting the time you would like to be using to make a proactive statement just reacting to what the other person is saying. so i think if somebody hits you with a lie in a debate you have to let the fact checker do some of that heavy lifter for you. when you were in the debate did you feels like you could respond? >> jennifer: when you are in a debate and somebody has said something completely false about you, you think do i want to spend my time responding to that craziness, which gets me really mad because they have done this or spend my time with my proactive agenda. there are some things you may want to respond to but when should you use your valuable debate time to actually do a response to an attack. >> i think when it's to your benefit to do that, if you can turn that around and make the other person who is making the charge look bad, that's when you do it. but it is so tricky. the thing that is so interesting about debates is you are in the moment. there is so much pressur

alan dershowitz is a criminal defense attorney. start with you, alan. two massive issues at the end of this political week. one is what to do about iran, particularly given this very effective use i thought of that bomb chart netanyahu came up with. secondly, where are we now with the israel/palestine settlement if at all? tony blair made quite encouraging remarks to me last night but he's trying to be encouraging about it for quite some time. many of us feel there's a complete stalemate and until that gets resolved, iran and everything else just spins off it. >> i met with president abbas the other day and showed him a proposal i had made in a "wall street journal" article for how to end the deadlock. the big issue is who goes first, the israelis are saying no preconditions, the palestinians are saying first you have to freeze the israelis are saying look, we froze the settlements for nine months, you didn't come to the bargaining table. so the proposal i had made is first the palestinians have to come to the bargaining table. only then will there will
